If you're scheduled to fly to the Great Plains, Midwest or New England, you'll want to check the status of your flight. A massive storm is moving across the interior of the United States, bringing heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain and wild winds. Weather.com says that 1 foot or more of snow could fall between Oklahoma City and the Boston area.

Mike Bettes, a forecaster on The Weather Channel, said earlier today, "This may be the biggest snowstorm the city has ever seen." Forecasts call for more than 24 inches of snow, with snow totals possibly surpassing those of the 1967 and 1979 blizzards. A record 23 inches of snow fell during the 1967 blizzard."
